These readings gave in-depth information on what privilege is, what oppression is, and what happens when these two meet. As a poor Latina woman in the US, my privilege and oppression definitely do intersect. White privilege is an unearned power, regular privilege can be earned, and pressure can affect anyone. I am privileged in ways some are not; I have a home and food to eat. As I mentioned in my discussion, I found it interesting that Marilyn Frye said that women are oppressed while men aren’t oppressed for being men. Still, different factors play a part in their oppression. I don’t know if someone would understand me, but can you be oppressed for being privileged? I think you can, but I’m not sure. When it comes to white privilege, many don’t know that they have it because it’s just something that’s been there for them since birth. Even if many factors play into white folk not having privilege, it’s just that being white gives them that privilege. It’s seen that if a white man and a black man had the same position in a job and did the same amount of work, some bosses would be inclined to pick the white man just because he is white. If it were a white man and a white woman, the white man would still win, but the woman would lose because she is a woman, regardless of her race. It differs between a white woman and a woman of color, because the person of a different race will always be viewed as being lower than the white class.
